Soluciones Integrales de Combustión has recently installed a steam installation at a paper mill in Alicante. These steam system is the thermal energy source responsible for generating and distributing steam to the mill’s industrial applications. They consist of boilers, burners, pipes, valves, and other components.

The steam installation at the Alicante paper mill is now operational for the corrugation process. The machine responsible for producing corrugated cardboard in the packaging industry, transforming paper reels into corrugated board sheets, is used. This process involves heat, pressure, and an adhesive, providing strength and durability so that it can provide adequate protection for the packaged products.

The corrugator is the centerpiece of the cardboard production lines and is divided into a wet section (where the corrugation is formed) and a dry section (where the sheets are cut and prepared).

Operation of the steam installation in a paper mill

The steam installation developed by the engineering company Soluciones Integrales de Combustion is the system responsible for generating steam in the boiler, transporting it through pipe networks to the cardboard corrugating machine, and using this water vapor to enable, in this case, the industrial process of efficient energy generation. The system requires specific equipment such as boilers, burners, valves and steam traps, as well as steel pipes, a gas evacuation system, economizers, and tanks. Furthermore, it is essential to ensure preventive maintenance and operational safety, as well as compliance with current legislation for pressurized equipment.

Steam generation occurs in boilers that heat water until it turns into steam. The steam is then transported through pipes from the boiler to the points of consumption during the distribution process. Steam valves and traps, in turn, regulate the flow and remove condensate, ensuring that it does not affect energy efficiency.
